    **today I got to thinking as I was preparing brunch, that I am not paying enough attention to "healthy eating" and just playing lip service to the idea. If I really want to eat healthy then why would I prepare my eggs in the bacon grease (even though I'm not eating the bacon)? If I want to eat healthy I would choose to make my eggs in pam. So that is what I did. I want to challenge myself to eat healthy, to focus on that for a change. That should be my overall goal.

    Note - day one pretty good - didn't need the sugar cookies.
